The Hague, June 2:> (Correspond? ence ot The Associated Press) Leather shoes are sohl out in Berlin soys the correspondent of the Am? sterdam I landelsbiad. "Clothing of all kinds, Including un? derclothing, is most difficult to get, even with a clothing card. No hand? kerchiefs, no shirts, no socks, no nap? kins, no woolen or cotton jacket lor baby. Decent washing and toilet soap has long been unobtainable. Many, many things are unobtainable that are still to be had In Holland, although prices may run much higher than in ,)eace times. Yet the Berliner looks fairly clean and well-groomed. The ill of chit her? mending has been car rtpd to a fine point here, And water ind sand keeps you clean too, at a pinch. "A sinokeablc cigar cannot bo ought for less than ?O fennlgs, and hen not more than three at a time. \ cigarette costs 12 fennlgs, and looking tobacco has gone the way of Ice and beans and peas and salad oil tnd brandy and turpentine and sealing .a\ and a hundred other articles. , i no, completely gone. ??Only as regards fuel, the Berliners re better off. Then is h.ndly any unit on gas. electricity or coal. "Great material privations have ieen, and are being borne, with for itinh .

At i in-, formerly a Salvation Army ma .or In Chicago, now .serving with a famous battalion of the United states army worker, baa been mentioned in I attallon and regimental orders, has been "over the top" several times With the battalion, has been acclaim? ed the most popular man in the bat? talion and recommended for a com mlssion an chaplain. 'Major'" Atklna who is known to the Officers and men of the battalion OS "the little major" to distinguish him from the real major of the organ? ization. Major Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., is said to carry the good luck of the unit with him. The boys believe that when he is present with them in an engagement, their casualties are light. On one occasion, when a raid was to be undertaken, the little major's unit suffered only four casualties, while the next organization suffered severely. When payday was a long time com? ing recently, he gave each man in the battalion an order for seven francs on the canteen. Each took advantage of the "jawbone" as the army boys call B loan and when payday came not one failed to visit the little major with the return payment. American Aviators Rescue British. An American Aviation Base, Some? where in BngkMd, June 25 (Corres? pondence of The Associated Press) ? The feat of two American aviators in ( rescuing the crew of a British nea plane Which had been forced to lind on the surface of the North Sea alter an encounter with a group of German airplanes, received mention this week I in a British communique. The oaV I lal statement, however, said only: "in one case a stray bullet shot I way a control, and the British ma? chine was forced to alight. The crew wen- subsequently rescued by another British seaplane, which had been sent to search for them." The rescuing mach hie was manned by Enalgjna Benjamin i>o and J. J. Schieffelln, Of the American Naval Aviation Service. Enalgn I?e gave The Associated Press the following ac? count of the flight: "Cur commanding olhcer and two men left the station at :i.20 in the morning on a flight toward the Dutch toast. Shortly alter sunrise they s.nv on the horizon, live spots which rap? idly assumed the outlines ot German seaplanes, "Five to one is hardly ? tight, so the commanding ortlcer, alter a first div? ing charge through the enemy's for? mation, shoved down the nose of his plane and beaded homeward. His two men fired sharply from the after gune, forcing the German scouts to keep their distance. They wer?? getting away all right, even leading the enemy into dangerous territory, when sud Jenly a chance Shot from one of the Hermans took away a control and the Hying boat crashed nose down. The three men fought clear of the wreck IRC and got hold of a tloating spar, while the Germans, realizing that hey were in dangerous country, scoot d away homeward. "It was four hours later, when the atroi was ic" overdue, thai we were ten! out to search for them. We earehed the horizon as we speeded long eastward, covering, at the etat 'ility, a hand about twenty miles wide finally one of us picked Up a black ipeck, which soon grew into a piece a vrreckage with three men on it. "Dropping our bombs at a safe dis ance, we throttled down our motors ml landed near the crashed sea lane. It was a delicate operation, vii we managed to taxi over to the rreckago and pick off the four men. lean while sending hack the good * w s by wireless, "The only comment the command ig officer had to make on his experi nce was 'W hat's a ducking?
